ApplicationsAs indicator pH 3.8 (orange) to 6.5 (dark violet)Resazurin sodium salt acts as a blue non-fluorescent dye used especially in oxidation-reduction indicator of resazurin test for bacteria. It is employed as a fluorogenic oxidation-reduction indicator in a variety of cells, yeast and eukaryotes by flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy and high-throughput screening. Further, it is used to characterize the metabolic activity of mitochnodria. It is also used to assay L-Glutamate and to measure the aerobic biodegradation of organic matter exists in effluents. In addition to this, it acts as an indicator for cell viability in mammalian cell cultures.

SolubilitySoluble in water, dimethylsulfoxide and ammonium hydroxide.
